EXTERIOR LANDSCAPING SERVICES

Professional Landscaping is vital to your business’ success. Your landscape is the public face of your business. It is your introduction to new customers; it is your first opportunity to impression clients with the quality of your service and your attention to detail; it is the lasting memory your customers carry away.

You need commercial landscapers as committed to excellence as you are.

At Plantscapes Inc., we never stop working to strengthen and improve our service to our clients. Our staff constantly studies new techniques and technologies while earning and upgrading their professional, horticultural certification. We believe that knowledgeable, highly skilled landscapers will deliver the care your business deserves.

Here is a bief overview of some of our Landscape Programs. For more information, or to schedule a walk through of your property, please contact us at (206) 623-7100. John Higgen, our Landscape Division Manager, will ensure that all your questions are answered fully and quickly.

Turf Care : We guarantee that your turf will always have a “cared for appearance.” Mowing length will be tailored to suit your property and the seasonal requirements of the sod. Mowing is done on a regular, scheduled basis so you’ll know when to expect the crew. Clippings are always removed from sidewalks, gutters and drives.

Pruning : Trees and shrubs form the backbone of your landscape and require the care of trained specialists. Plantscapes’ arborists follow established horticultural standards to give your property a park-like appearance while still maintaining a balance of light and openess. All trees and plants are pruned for maximum health, growth, coverage, and visual appeal.

Because they require special care, trees over 12 feet high are not included as part of our regular service. If your property has such trees, they may be contracted for separately.

Edging : The edging of planting beds and driveways gives a landscape a neat, clean appearance. Our landscape crews will carefully edge the turf around your bedding areas several times a month.

Bed Work : The color and beauty of your landscape design require healthy bedding plants. Plantscapes’ healthy soil/healthy plants approach will keep your landscape looking fresh and your plants in bloom. To enhance the neat appearance of your planting beds, Plantscapes’ landscape crews rake the ground mulch regularly. Of course, any debris in the landscaped areas is removed.

New Ground Mulch : A good mulch will increase the soil’s ability to retain moisture, hinder the germination of weed seeds, allow the application of special weed control products if necessary, create boundaries, and add a pleasant appearance, texture, and color to your landscape.

Plantscapes’ landscape designers work with a wide variety of materials to select the mulch that is right for your property. If you would like to add the benefits of regular mulching to your landscape maintenance program, please email or call John Higgen at (206) 623-7100.

Fertilizers : Because regularly applied fertilizer is so vital to a healthy landscape, fertilizers are a regular part of Landscape Program. Lawns are fertilized three to five times a year. Shrubs and trees are fertilized according to the specific seasonal needs of the plants and conditions of the landscape. To ensure that your property always looks its best, alternate schedules and seasonal adjustments to the contract may be worked out with the Landscape Division Manager.

Chemical Sprays : The use of chemical sprays will be limited to light applications on an as needed basis to control insects, weeds, diseases, and fungi. At Plantscapes Inc., we strive to be environmentally conscious. We use organic pest controls when possible. Our technicians attend seminars to learn the latest techniques for a safer environment. Plantscapes Inc.’s crew is licensed annually by the state of Washington after rigorous testing in pesticide application.

Irrigation Systems : Even after our long winter rainy season, the Pacific Northwest’s dry summers demand regular irrigation to keep plants green. Each property is unique – and so is the plan for irrigation. Slope, sunlight, types of plants, and the proximity of beds to walkways and parking areas must all be taken into account if you are to achieve effective irrigation while conserving water.

Plantscapes offers a host of different irrigation services. If you would like to speak to a specialist about adding this valuable program to your maintenance contract, email or call Matthew Inman at (206) 623-7100.

Site Service Notification : At Plantscapes, we believe that good customer service begins with good communication. A notification card will be hand delivered to an on-site manager after each service call if the client so wishes. This card is also designed to facilitate two way communication, allowing Plantscapes Inc. service crews to respond promptly to your comments and requests.

A Beautiful Landscape Adds Value

Seasonal Color Changes – Annual Flowers : Flowers are often the first and last impression a landscape makes. A profusion of blooming color can make any property spectacular. Plantscapes Inc.’s Annual Color Rotation program changes your flowers three to four times over the course of the year. Plants remain compact and in bloom, regardless of the season.

Our designers pride themselves on original presentations that reflect the spirit of each season in the Northwest. If you would like to add flowering color to your landscape, please call (206) 623-7100 and speak with Joanie Hackett, our Color Specialist, to arrange plantings designed specifically for your company.

Upgrade Program : Plantscapes Inc. offers a Site Upgrade Program for projects requiring a re-design of the existing landscape. Upgrading will save you money by maximizing the use of the existing plants and materials while adding new features.

Materials : Plantscapes guarantees that all materials used in your landscape shall be the highest quality nursery stock. Plantscapes Inc. extensive buying network provides healthy, quality plants as well at excellent value. We are then able to pass these savings along to you.
